just wanted to see if anyone has or it running thier stock tires in the winter. Chicago has some brutal winters and this year, doesn't seem to be any better. Could I make it through this winter with these tires???

No way.  They suck.  They are high performance summer tires.

I bought a dedicated 18" winter set for $1050 shipped from Tire Rack in the summer.

You have the summer tires, right, WickedSHO?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

You'll slide and slip everywhere.  I ran them in the snow once and it was a white knuckle experience.   Mine are almost shot at 14K miles.   If you are close to 10K miles, I'd just buy some high performance all seasons and go that route.  Will be a lot safer than summer tires.

I believe that its recommended by the manufacturer that the Eagle f1's not to be suitable for weather under 40 degrees,so basically no.
